What Do You Want?
1. Know what you want. For some of you this may sound basic.
You might say “I want love” or “I want success.”
However, the key here is to be very specific about what you want.
For example, “I want a life partner vs. “I want meet someone nice”
2. Have a clear purpose.
Know the reason for which something is being done.
3. Understand and use intent.
Intent is one of the most underrated aspects of success.
Your actions have to be packed with intent —
is your mind concentrated, firmly resolved on a purpose?
Out of intent is born will.
It’s a process of exercising the mind with conscious intention towards initiating a chosen action,
i.e., set your goal, see it complete, and go!
4. Establish commitment.
This is the action of binding yourself to a course of action.
Dedication is part of this.
You may not know what to do but if you are committed to being successful, you’ll find out how!
5. Clearly articulate how your service, product, or experience will benefit you, others, the world.
I call this “knowing your story.”
Until you really know your story, it is difficult to enroll others.
It doesn’t matter what you are presenting:
financial services, healthcare, cars, or software.
You need to convincingly express the value of what you do.
Back In Balance
I speak often and possibly too long about Balance. You may have actually read other thoughts about this topic I have on the blog.We hear a great deal about living with balance. Many of us are attempting to Balance personal growth with, family, friends, community involvement and intimacy. Most of us try to Balance income with output. We try to Balance our dreams with our daily responsibilities and often it’s difficult. We look for Balance in our lives, but life tends to get in the way. I hear people say I don’t have time. I don’t have time to exercise, to grow spiritually, to read,to become more of who I want to be, to spend quality time with my loved ones.We know that we are the richest; most educated and with the most freedom of any people in history,and yet there is a sense of stress, confusion that having material things isn’t enough. Are we on a search to feel complete by surrounding ourselves with possessions? Or, to be more direct,that we have far too much of some things (possessions) , and not enough Balance. We as a people tend to spend too much time looking for situations that will be good for us materially. Realize that if we take the time to do for someone else, to give to the community, to be interested in what our partners, family and friends are truly saying, to be an active listener, we will all be better off. Step off the merry go round for a brief moment and look at our society and see if where we are headed is in our best interest. For many with the current economic culture change it is less about materialism, but for how long? Maybe we all need to stop thinking about ourselves and start being concerned about “us” We are all in this world together. Life is what we make it. Live life, don’t simple go through the motions!
